Which wheel setup would you chose?
 
Lightweight 19" Volks TE37SL or 20" Work Gnosis Gs2 with the lip. :yum:

TE37 not only look better, they'll perform better

SPOHN 08-14-2012 07:15 PM

This was to simple. TE37

I like 5 star wheels. So #2

Amuse370z 08-14-2012 08:02 PM

The Volks are about 7 lb lighter per rim. I would save $600 going with the Work wheels however.

What about tire costs? Does that level the short and long term cost of the wheels?

How heavier/lighter are they from stock?

Do they make the first wheel in silver/lighter finishes?

370Z Stock weights:
Sport 19×9.0: 23.20 lbs (10.52 kg)
Sport 19×10.0: 23.80 lbs (10.80 kg)

TE37SL 19x9.5" +22: 20.4 lbs
TE37SL 19x10.5" +22: 20.8 lbs.

The Gnosis are about 32 lb.

Hankook Ventus V12 20" tires are about $25 cheaper each compared to the 19s.

I had to think about this... for like .3 seconds! Volks!

sfearl1 08-14-2012 09:38 PM

I'd go with plain TE37's. I don't really dig the look of the SL's at all.

jlbrenne 08-15-2012 08:03 AM

I'm a looks and sound guy. I'd go with 20" Work Gnosis Gs2 with the lip. However, if your racing/draging you already know the answer.

HKYStormFront 08-15-2012 08:20 AM

it depends on what you are wanting to do with the car but generally i'd say get the volks. the works do look good though. if you want a show car, they are hard to beat. just so you know, there are some new TE37 CL's (i believe?) on the horizon that are substantially lighter than the SL's. might be worth the wait cause they should cost about the same

GaleForce 08-15-2012 08:35 AM

I would do both. The Work for show and driving around town, the Volk for track days.

kevpotts 08-15-2012 10:23 AM

How is this even a question? Volks hands down. The Work Gnosis Gs2s don't suit the 370 at all in my opinion. They should be reserved for something more VIP styled.

These? I didn't know they were being released?

Yep this is more of a Light weight performance wheel vs Heavy show wheel.

The lip and the 20" just looks great on the Z, it fills the wheel well very nice.

+ 12 lb/ wheel is very significant and I should be able to feel the car being slower for sure.

Z-1 Performance Automotive Services Inc. - Volk TE37 C1

Telephone 08-15-2012 04:54 PM

Those silver C1s look sharp. I'd pick these or keep your Sport rims.

Didn't realize that those 20s were so heavy.

Waiz 08-17-2012 01:07 AM

Volk's for sure :)

shika805 08-17-2012 01:48 AM

I like the gnosis series but the gs2. Volks for me on this one.

karotZ 08-17-2012 03:51 AM

TE37 = Form and function any day.

Amuse370z 08-19-2012 04:18 PM

Does anyone know if the C1s will be released? I think it might be worth it to wait a bit?

Looks like you guys convinced me form and function is more important.

NewtoZ's5 08-19-2012 04:32 PM

I like them both. It all depends on what you plan on using them for. Work for show and the Volks go :eekdance:

Volk Z 08-19-2012 04:34 PM

TE37 for sure BUT go with the regular Volk/Rays stickers rather then the one red spoke sticker...

I have had 3 sets of TE37s and love them, its a timeless wheel for sure!

JungleZ 08-20-2012 11:41 PM

Those works have a better little dish. Plus different than the norm. TE37 are classic but everyone has them of course.

BlackPepper 09-06-2012 06:24 AM

I think both are good but it depends on your vehicle and expenses.
